I was think of putting together a mobile recording rig and setting up to record at an hourly rehearsal space, then moving back to my studio for overdubs and mixing. Does anyone have any experience doing this or know of any place in the greater Los Angeles area that they would recommend I look into. I've looked into a couple place place but they seem to all be a mixed bag since noise for other bands is always an issue. Or is this an extremely bad idea and I need to figure something else out?

I think its a great idea , kind of what I already do . I have a mobile rig and go where the music is .
I suggest using a lot of dynamic mics , like SM7 on vocals and lots of 57s every where .
you'll be recording in some bad sounding rooms and dynamics are the best at
rejecting the unwanted room reflections and outside noise .
Get a system down to record the whole band at the same time like a live show .
You can also record the quiet stuff , like acoustic guitar , vocals , later since its not a full band just one or two guys , at your house or at their house .
